This is America, Morgan Trumps Count

Or, money talks, bullshit walks.  At least those of us watching our assets fade in our 401k and other retirement accounts get to see some of our money in action!  Given that, I like Sonja Morgan , the newest Real Housewives of New York City cast member!  Why? Because she owns it, from what we see so far. Unlike the Countless LuAnn, Sonja Morgan is an old school whore and she ain’t  pretending to be anything else!  Think Jill Zarin is jealous of Bethenny? Watch What Happens now!

Sonja and John Morgan. John Morgan is one of five sons of Henry Sturgis Morgan, a great-grandson of J. Pierpont Morgan, the greatest American financier of the Gilded Age, and Catherine Adams, a great-great-granddaughter of John Adams, the second President of the United States. JP Morgan personally saved the American banking system during the Panic of 1907, and created the first billion-dollar corporation, U.S. Steel. His greatest legacy to the world was his vast collection of paintings, sculpture, objets and manuscripts, many of which are in his own Morgan Library.
I first met Sonya Morgan about twelve years ago when, as the still single Sonya Tremont, she was the hostess at (the Italian restaurant across from Bice) on Madison Avenue and 54th Street. Sonya was very well known among the New York money men and power brokers for being good looking, savvy and with a go-get-em charm. She was so good at her job (bringing in big name businessmen clientele that I wrote a profile on her for Quest). It was a story about a girl who came to the big town from Albany and made her way into the international set who made the circuit from Europe to New York, the Bahamas, Aspen and Malibu, and used her connections to make her way in business.

Several years ago, she ran into John Morgan whom she knew through the restaurant at a cocktail party. Today they are married, parents of a daughter and divide their time between their house in New York, their house on an island off Connecticut and their yacht which at this time of the year is usually in the Bahamas.
